Isaiah 3:14

Isaiah 3:14

12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! ^aThose who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”

Oppression and Luxury Condemned

13 The Lord stands up ^ato plead,
And stands to judge the people.

14 The Lord will enter into judgment
With the elders of His people
And His princes:
“For you have¹ eaten up ^athe vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15 What do you mean by ^acrushing My people
And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the Lord God of hosts.

16 Moreover the Lord says:
“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with¹ outstretched necks
And¹ wanton eyes,
Walking and¹ mincing as they go,
Making a jingling with their feet,

17 Therefore the Lord will strike with ^aa scab
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will ^buncover their secret parts.”
